ARCHIVES
This report is due to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission by April 30, 2020. We strongly urge
libraries to report no later than March 31, 2020, to provide time to make any necessary revisions.
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission participates in a national public library data collection system. The
purpose of this system is to ensure the collection of comparable data in all states. The data is used for the creation
of a composite report on the public libraries of the United States and for state -to -state comparisons by the Institute
of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). It is seen and used by researchers as well as policymakers at all levels of
government. This report is also used to accredit Texas public libraries and some data elements are used for that
purpose. Accreditation -related questions are marked within the questionnaire (39).
Definitions are important to ensure comparability of data from different libraries and states. Please refer to the
definitions as this survey is completed.
Please do not leave any items blank. Estimates are important if exact data are not available. For Section 3:
Expenditures, Section 4: Local Financial Effort, and Section 5: Revenue, enter "0" if the appropriate entry for an item
is zero or "none." For the other sections, enter "0" if the appropriate entry for an item is zero or "none" and enter
"N/A" in the Notes field if an item does not apply to a particular library. If an exact figure is not available for a
particular item, but it is known that the amount is greater than zero, the librarian should enter an estimate of the
amount, and add an explanation in the Notes field. If you need to estimate, please use a standard methodology for
doing so. If you have questions, please contact LDN staff.
All questions relate to the library's local fiscal year 2019: the year that ended in calendar year 2019 and included
January 1, 2019. If there was a change in the fiscal year, please contact LDN staff to update that information. All

Electronic Material Counts
For purposes of this survey, units are defined as "units of acquisition or purchase". The "unit" is determined
by considering whether the item is restricted to a finite number of simultaneous users or an unlimited
number of simultaneous users.
• Finite simultaneous use: units of acquisition or purchase is based on the number of simultaneous usages
acquired equivalent to purchasing multiple copies of a single title. For example, if a library acquires a title
with rights to a single user at a time, then that item is counted as 1 "unit"; if the library acquires rights to a
single title for 10 simultaneous users, then that item is counted as 10 "units". For smaller libraries, if volume
data are not available, the number of titles may be counted.
• Unlimited simultaneous use: units of acquisition or purchase is based on the number of titles acquired. For
example, if a library acquires a collection of 100 books with unlimited simultaneous users, then that
collection would be counted as 100 "units".

Service Measures
7.1 Number of Reference Transactions z7,1�o
Reference Transactions are information consultations in which library staff recommend, interpret, evaluate, and/or use
information resources to help others to meet particular information needs.
A reference transaction includes information and referral service as well as unscheduled individual instruction and
assistance in using information sources including web sites and computer -assisted instruction. Count Readers Advisory
questions as reference transactions.
Information sources include (a) printed and non -printed material; (b) machine-readable databases including computer -
assisted instruction; (c) the library's own catalogs and other holdings records; (d) other libraries and institutions through
communication or referral; and (e) persons both inside and outside the library.
When a staff member uses information gained from previous use of information sources to answer a question, report as
a reference transaction even if the source is not consulted again.
If a contact includes both reference and directional services, it should be reported as one reference transaction.
Duration should not be an element in determining whether a transaction is a reference transaction.
It is essential that libraries do not include directional transactions in the report of reference transactions. Directional
transactions include giving instruction for locating staff, library users, or physical features within the library.
Examples of directional transactions include: *Where is the restroom?
• Where is the reference librarian? *Where are the 600's?
• Where is Susan Smith? *Can you help me make a photocopy?
If an annual count of reference transactions is unavailable, count reference transactions during a typical week or weeks,
in which the library is open its regular hours, and multiply the count to represent an annual estimate. If the sample is
done four times a year, multiply totals by 13; if done twice a year, multiply by 26; if done annually, multiply by 52. A
"typical week" is a time that is neither unusually busy nor unusually slow. Avoid holiday times, vacation periods for key
staff, or days when unusual events are taking place in the community or in the library.
